The stronger man got up and pulled out a gun and began to shoot the other man. Corey could tell that the man who was shot was instantly killed. He was now a witness to a fatal shooting crime. Residing in the neighborhood he was born in, he was told to never report to the police when he saw a crime, so now Corey could not decide on what to do. Many people

  • Giving Up The Gun Thesis

    1182 Words  | 5 Pages

    Giving up the Gun tells the story of Japan, a highly civilized country, who possessed a highly developed technology in firearms and voluntarily chose to give up these weapons to return to a more primitive style culture. There was no real forceful abolition of firearms, but instead a slow voluntary effort and shift of mindset. Further than the story though, Giving up the Gun makes the claim that progress is not inevitable, and that we are able to control and guide its direction. Firearms were brought into Japan in the mid-1500s and actually took a while to catch on and be mass-produced.

    As gun violence has been plaguing the United States of America for a number of decades, causing mass shootings and unwanted deaths, it is not surprised that more than 100 million handguns are owned in America for protection (Kates & Mauser, 2007). To prevent the future generation from being a victim to gun violence, some suggests that they should be allowed to carry firearms on campus for self-defence. This essay is against the opinion of permitting students from carrying weapons to school regardless the advantages it might bring. This is because teenagers have yet to fully reach maturity, teenagers armed are seen as a threat to others and lack of training in handling firearms. One of the reasons to prevent students from carrying guns is the fear of misusing firearms.
